Low Level Quantification of 1,4-Dioxane and Investigation of 1,4-Dioxane Co-Metabolism by Mycobacterium sp. 1A.

Creator:

McKeage, Kevin J.

Abstract:

1,4-Dioxane (dioxane) is a probable human carcinogen and is often found comingled with chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) contamination since dioxane is used as a stabilizer in CAH solutions. Dioxane is miscible in water, has a low K[subscript ow], low H[subscript cc], and is highly recalcitrant in the environment. The presence...

Molecular analysis of bacterial community dynamics during bioaugmentation studies in a soil column and at a field test site

Creator:

Li, Jun

Abstract:

1,1,1-Tricholorethane (1,1,1-TCA), a widely used industrial solvents, is one of the most common subsurface contaminants. Transformation processes in the subsurface can result in the production of 1,1-dichioroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,1- dichioroethene (l,1-DCE) from 1,1,1-TCA contamination, resulting in plumes of mixed chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). A butane-utilizing microorganism, strain 1 83BP,...
